Five police officers have been brought before the Milimani Court in Nairobi after 13 remandees escaped from the Gigiri police station. The officers charged in connection with the escape are Ronald Babo, Evans Kipkirui, Mollent Achieng, Zachary Nyabuto, and Gerald Mutuku.
From a reliable source of information, these officers are being investigated for their possible role in the escape of 12 Eritrean nationals and one other remandee, Collins Jumaisi. Jumaisi is a prime suspect in a series of murders in Nairobi’s Kware area, where several bodies were discovered. The disappearance of these individuals has raised serious concerns, leading to the officers’ court appearance.
The five officers appeared before Senior Principal Magistrate Martha Nanzushi. The case is seen as significant due to the gravity of the charges against Jumaisi, who is accused of multiple killings. The involvement of the 12 Eritrean nationals adds an international dimension to the case, increasing its complexity.
The officers are under investigation to determine whether they had any involvement in the escape or if they were negligent in their duties. The court will consider whether there was any foul play or if the officers failed to follow proper procedures, leading to the remandees’ disappearance.
The court session is just the beginning of what could be a lengthy legal process. The police officers will likely face more scrutiny as investigations continue. The case has attracted public attention, particularly because it involves both local and international elements, with the Eritrean nationals being part of the group that escaped
